ABOUT BOOK 4
SERAFINA AND THE SEVEN STARS marks the return of a heroine like no other, as master storyteller Robert Beatty weaves his darkest, most astonishing tale yet. Serafina, the Guardian of Biltmore Estate, and her best friend Braeden Vanderbilt, have won battle after battle against the dark forces encroaching on their home. Now, tranquility has returned to Biltmore. When Mr. Vanderbilt, the kind master of Biltmore, asks Serafina to move upstairs into one of the house’s grandest rooms, she’s sure it’s to keep an eye on the guests who have arrived for the estate’s annual hunt. But as Serafina and Braeden investigate, they become more and more unsettled by the startling series of events.

SERAFINA AND THE SEVEN STARS is the fourth title in the SERAFINA SERIES from publisher Disney-Hyperion. The SERAFINA SERIES books are #1 New York Times Best Sellers. Book 1, SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK, remained on the best sellers list for more than 60 weeks and was the winner of the prestigious 2016 Southern Book Prize. The second book, SERAFINA AND THE TWISTED STAFF, became a NYT #1 best seller in the first week of its launch. The third book, SERAFINA AND THE SPLINTERED HEART, launched Serafina onto the NYT Best Selling Series List, along with such titles as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. Beatty is also the author of last year’s #1 best-selling WILLA OF THE WOOD, set in the Great Smoky Mountains.
